    Default 100 gal. stock tank or 75 gal. glass tank?

    So I am gonna get my bullfrogs a new tank on boxing day, and am deciding between my friends 100 gallon stock tank, or buying a new 75 gallon glass tank. Here is what I think of the two:

    Stock tank pros- Larger
    Frogs feel secure
    Light weight, easy to manage
    Could be moved outside in the summer (Shade of course)
    Cant break
    cons- Cant see frogs except from top (Harder to monitor growth and health)
    Have to make my own screen top
    Cant be decorative (no point)
    Might be difficult to place glass divider if it tapers from top to bottom
    75 gallon glass tank pros-Easy to see and monitor frogs
    Can be decorative
    Comes with screen top
    cons-Frogs don't feel secure (unless background is put on)
    Heavy
    Can break (have yet to get a tank of anykind to break, but still something to consider)
    Water spots obscure view
    Smaller

    The choice sounds kinda obvious, but I would personally go with the 75 gallon tank, and maybe buy the 100 gallon from my friend as well for the summer. What do you guys think I should do?

    I'm with you on this 75 inside 100 outside . If your gonna get the 100g at a good price then you should get it as well but 75g either way
